Dear friend,
Thanks for posting your query on this website. I can fully appreciate your concern for your problem.
1. I am afraid that you had suffered from severe allergic reaction following exposure to black molds (which is a fungi).
2. To get over toxic effects of black mold exposure, I recommend the following treatment :-
(a) Start Fluticasone nasal spray - a puff in each nostril THRICE daily till you recover completely.
(b) Tab XXXX 10mg one tablet twice daily for 10-15 days at least.
(c) Tab XXXX 5mg twice daily.
(d) Tab XXXX 150 mg one tablet twice daily.
(e) Tab XXXX (5mg) 2 tablets thrice daily for 3 days; thereafter, 2 tablets twice daily for 3 days; then, 2 tablets once a day for 3 days; then, stop.
3. It is imperative that you get your basement thoroughly sanitized by a professional. You will otherwise, continue to have similar reactions in future.
I am confident that you will certainly benefit from the advice.
May I assure you that I am always available for your assistance and will try my best to cure your condition to the best of my experience and knowledge.
Please feel free to revert back to me once you have recovered completely.
HAVE A NICE DAY AND A SPEEDY RECOVERY.
Fond Regards,
Dr.(Col) R Karanwal
